HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Forestburg sweeps past Gold-Burg

The Forestburg High School basketball teams’ were complete on Tuesday night after weeks of benched players due to injuries and grades. With all hands on deck, the Longhorns were able to sweep the Gold-Burg High School girls’ and boys’ teams.
The first quarter was a slow start for girls as the Lady Longhorns put up 12 points and the Lady Bears seven, and Forestburg eventually won 65-28.
“Our whole team was back and in full health,” explained Forestburg girls’ head coach Cori Hayes. “MaKayla was back as well and we were able to play as a team. We started slow and only scored 12 points the first quarter, you could tell we were rusty from the break.”
The Forestburg boys also played with a whole team for the first time in weeks, including team leader J.D. Moore.
“We’ve got our team back and finally have the team we’ve been waiting on,” said Forestburg boys head coach Steve Sandusky. “Not to take anything away from Gold-Burg, they have some very good players and a good team.”
Moore’s presence was definitely felt, as he put up 19 of the Longhorn’s points as the boys claimed a 63-48 victory.

Langford coming back home

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
